Speed

12 to fix46
  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 5.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,968 HTML elements

    The page has 4,968 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 1.5 MB

    41 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Cookiebot, Shopify and sibforms.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 660 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    310 ms · 485 KiB

    About 485 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    350 ms · 153 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (153 KiB).

  • Cookiebot adds 411 ms

    411 ms

    Cookiebot costs a phone 411 ms of main-thread work and 42 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Font display

    400 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 57 KiB

    About 57 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 108 ms

    108 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 108 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 218 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    14 KiB

    14 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Chained critical requests

    Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Your largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 20.6 s

    20.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 20.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 9.5 s

    9.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 641 ms

    641 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 641 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 311 ms

    311 ms

    Real visitors wait 311 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 26% slower for real visitors

    +26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 130 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

  • Real-user FCP: 1.0 s

    1.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 333 ms

    333 ms

    Real visitors wait 333 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 25% faster for real visitors

    -25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 4.7 MB in 299 requests

    4.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 299 requests on a phone: images 2.3 MB (48), scripts 1.2 MB (83) and other files 856 KiB (120). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Muesli_neu_Slider_Mobil_1.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    401 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example apple-cinnamon-rolls-bb1.jpg at 1,600 px wide, shown at 212 px. Resized copies would save about 401 KiB.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.34 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.34 g of CO₂e: 160.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

Other pages

2 to fix88

    https://www.ruf.eu/collections/all is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

Content and conversion

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
